Amazon’s PR team is known for rarely responding on the record but I’m guessing it might say – like every other Fortune 100 CEO, Jeff knows that voting’s for the little people. Writing checks may be easier for Bezos than Washington State’s vote by mail ballots.

To Bezos’ credit, in the three years he’s contributed more than $100,000, he’s always voted. In 2012, Bezos and his wife gave $2.5 million to support marriage equality. In 2010, he gave $100,000 to defeat a progressive income tax on wealthy residents (Washington State currently has the most regressive tax system in the country). And, in 2004, Bezos gave $100,000 to support the establishment of Charter Schools.
